He didnt win not one grammy for this album. Thats when I stopped watching the grammy award show. This song is timeless and still played. Our children's children's children will know who Brotha Marvin Pense Gaye is,.
It was a song that Motown also did not want to initially produce as it did not fit the mold, too political. It’s regarded as one of the first if not the first thinking black man’s songs.
With this album, Marvin shifted the purpose, focus and paradigm of Motown and music consciousness with this compilation. Barry didn’t want to jeopardize the Motown machine or Sound of Young America, which was to give the illusion of their not being impact by the era. Marvin broke the mold with this and forever changed the concept of consciousness in songwriting. Rest well Marvin , Rest Well.
He won an award in our hearts ❤ worth more than any grany. He's a genius and you cant sing like that unless your connected in your heart to the creator!

@Sean R Our behavior has regressed on so many levels. Blame who or what you want. I've lived a long time and have seen us take for granted and abuse what we used to be thankful for.
Marvin was so often trapped between being high as a kite, a state of different levels of depression, utter confusion and inner rambling chaos that when he had a normal moment of sanity and peace, he would write, create and produce songs based upon his journey and how he saw things through those experiences. His demons were relentless and he fought them for a long time. May God grant him eternal peace and rest his soul.
I actually don't have the words for this. High art, social philosophy, theology, and theater in one incredible moment. Marvin was truly one of the greats.
What a beautiful human being, there will never be another like Marvin. indeed Marvin sang about the issues and struggles of just not only black folk but the world as a whole. I saw Marvin in concert a long time ago and I think I was the only white boy there, seeing him live was one of the greatest experiences in my life. Marvin was touched, he had to be in order for him to write and sing what he did. I miss you my brother!

Il faut savoir que Berry Gordy avait refusé de sortir cet album estimant que le thème n'était pas assez vendeur parce que l'album parlait d'écologie et de paix à cause de la guerre de Vietnam. Et ce fut le plus grand album de Marvin Gaye à tous les points de vue. From Paris.
It is no coincidence that this song and album were released during this time period. When I 1st heard this song, I was in college at a predominantly white university (early 1970’s). He was so much on point then and it is still relevant today. How profound and profedic This album still gives me chills.
@Sean R It starts with self. Breaking the chains of hate/hurt/anger etc. I've heard & witnessed those not having experienced it in their personal life. As the saying goes, "hurt people hurt people." "Love" really is "the greatest of all these." (1 Corinthians 13:13) It takes healing of self for change to start. Sadly, there are those not wanting or willing 2 take the steps. All the best.
#SeanR Good morning, I listened again closely to "Marvin Gaye's" song, he was a spiritual person and he was speaking about his individual thoughts and how he felt. Also, the need for people to come together. Wish he was here to get his thoughts accurately, but then again he left his music and listening to this live recording you hear his thoughts on matters. Yes, self introspection is needed. Also, admitting and then correcting self when I see errors. This is a humbling thing and it doesn't make a person small. It's a growth in character. Pride of self is good, but too much can lead to disaster. Look at the results. (Ecclesiastes 8:9) Take care and stay safe during these "trying" & "changing times." {2Tim. 3:1} The Bibles prophecies are truly being seen and fulfilled.
@@autumnsmom1117 Very well spoken. Nothing (good or bad) ever happens that doesn't start on the individual level. We cant do anything together until we (each) have that desire in our heart as individuals. I still use Marvin's line as a daily influence / reminder. Another is Seals and Crofts "Take us up, always up"
This guy is not only an inspiration but also gave me a reason to find reasons and dedication to the art of making and producing music, legendary Marvin
among the greatest no questions. ...this tune is in a class of its own... Singers.....well, yes again Gaye is in his own class ....his own individual style you know.
True, but T Pain has and had a really great voice before everyone thought he was hidin' behind the auto tune effect when it was merely a simple effect, which eventually started a trend. So, your comment is just a waste of a comment. Go check T Pain's more recent videos, not that I'm a fan of his, but... it's the same ol' comment. Please.

First time I heard this song was 1971. Marvin is a True legend. And, Yeah man..."What IS Goin' On?" This song needs to be heard all across our country right now! "Peace" and "Love".

Thank you marvelous marvin.All day long bruvva ,.im laying my mum to rest next week she was 80 years young and I grew up listening to this track , parties in our house from when I was a kid in camden Town.this was always the vinyl that hit the deck and woke me up . 8 years old I hated it because it meant another night with grown ups partying and I was a kid. By the time I was 16 I loved the album , I was 21 when marvelous was taken from us and I'm 58 now . Dad's gone and mum is joining him and being seen off to this tune with absolute love and the best memories for my siss and myself . Luv ya mum and dance with dad forever xx
WOW!!! That's all I can say! That was straight from his soul. He sang that with such passion that you could see it on his face. Man, he is truly missed!
A child of God our Father lost so young. I truly miss you so much Marvin. A childhood of abuse we both shared. You were sharing the word of God in 1980 in Montreal, Quebec. I will always love you Marvin and miss you. Drugs everyone says you used.......who are they to judge you or anyone. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
Marvin Gaye is one of the most talented artists in music history ( and that means ever since humans started making music thousands of years ago ). And also one of the handsomest .
When this first came out I was in a black bar in Berkeley California. People's park, black panthers, Viet Nam, were all "Going On" yet here I was the only white college student among the brothers all of us being mellow enjoying truth from Marvin, The whole album is a gift to mankind
One of the greatest songs ever from one of the greatest albums EVER! Marvin left us too soon as we all know. Thank you Marvin Gaye for your gifts of timeless music. RIP😢
This video is a true masterpiece. You can see the preacher in Marvin Gaye, same preacher - his father - who shot him dead 4 years later. There lays a man with questions and answers. Got to love Marvin Gaye.
War can become real everywhere in the world. Why? Because of you and me. This song remains of of our common brother an sistership!. War is not the answer!.Only love can conquer hate!
Yes he did! Only wish it wasn't so short. I listen and watch this daily for motivation and inspiration. If only he had went on for hours, I would listen and appreciate every word.
This was one of the political songs of the day that has persevered today because we are still disregarding the environment to our detriment. I will always admire Marvin for putting this out there.
so much groove,, wow,, a true profit of love,, what a great band,,, every note played to perfection, backing vocals are on point,,,much love and respect from Puerto Rico!! Marvin, your music will forever live in our hearts, "War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate"
What was beautiful and extraordinary about Marvin Gaye and his music is you knew he meant it and he made you feel that. I was born in the sixties and grew up in the seventies listening to all of his music. This amazing song is from one of the best albums of that era, if not all time! So good live. Tragically taken from this earth too soon and too young. Marvin Gaye, Rest In Peace. ❤️
Genius + Beauty + Soul = Marvin Gaye = One of a kind. I believe he was a major inspiration for Stevie Wonder…that indicates how profound he really was.
It is so cool the way he breaks into discussion/singing towards the end. What a voice to be able to sing live with no fear of sounding flat or off key!
Sometimes I literally wonder who the fuck down votes something like this? I'm fine with Post Malone, Halsey, Ariana grande, but don't people realize we wouldn't have the baisis for modern music without folks like Marvin Gaye permanently influencing the industry, down to chord progressions and production techniques. These folks are forgotten legends in my humble, 21 year old opinion.
A sign of how great and talented Marvin was, that even coked out of his mind in the later years, he was still miles ahead of anyone else. A true artist to the core. Lived it, felt it, and recorded it. Simply the greatest.
+IndependentGeorge76 If he had stayed in Belgium he would be alive today, 32 years later. He would have been 77 this year. He looks gaunt here where the video of him in Belgium he is glowing and looks younger than his 40 years. RIP beautiful man!
Soy de Perú, esa canción me recuerda a mi niñez, las diferencias sociales marcadas, un forma de reclamar en poesía. Marvin por siempre, Michael McDonald, Daryl Hall y Teddy Swims, gracias por cantarla con el corazón

Agreed. Marvin Gaye didn't fit the agenda so he didn't receive an award for his genius.
It's definitely a gem. However the truth is, it's a song that grew on many with time.

His demons were relentless and he fought them for a long time. May God grant him eternal peace and rest his soul.
So true

You really knew him?
Looks like he is fighting them right now.
It's a constant struggle
I actually don't have the words for this. High art, social philosophy, theology, and theater in one incredible moment. Marvin was truly one of the greats.
Actually you had great words for it, thank you!
It would be amazing if his concerts were theatrical because his songs/albums were stories from top to bottom and would have been great for him
Well said
His mind and thinking was out of this world and blew everyone's away..one of the greatest.!! R.I.P. Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye drove my teenage heart and soul. He's beat in my heart ever since. What a beautiful man he was. I just know the angels love him. 💐🙏🏽
Thank you marvelous marvin.All day long bruvva ,.im laying my mum to rest next week she was 80 years young and I grew up listening to this track , parties in our house from when I was a kid in camden Town.this was always the vinyl that hit the deck and woke me up . 8 years old I hated it because it meant another night with grown ups partying and I was a kid. By the time I was 16 I loved the album , I was 21 when marvelous was taken from us and I'm 58 now . Dad's gone and mum is joining him and being seen off to this tune with absolute love and the best memories for my siss and myself . Luv ya mum and dance with dad forever xx
Blessings to you
WOW!!! That's all I can say! That was straight from his soul. He sang that with such passion that you could see it on his face. Man, he is truly missed!
The way he holds the microphone. The sound of Marvin cannot be duplicated....rest in peace gifted one.....you have peace...🕊
A timeless voice. And so greatly missed. These songs are still relevant today. RIP Brother Marvin.
A child of God our Father lost so young. I truly miss you so much Marvin. A childhood of abuse we both shared. You were sharing the word of God in 1980 in Montreal, Quebec. I will always love you Marvin and miss you.
Drugs everyone says you used.......who are they to judge you or anyone. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
Your brother had a great voice and talent. Sorry for the abuse you both had to suffer in your childhood. Sending healing wishes and love to you.
The first time I heard this song it filled my eyes with tears. We needed it then and we need it now!!
“Till we meet again , be good to each other .. goodbye god bless you all I love you .............” hits every time 😭💕

Ron Beck facts g
Me, too I was 23 then now 71 it's the worst I've ever seen in society😢😭💀.
Right now it’s a very appropriate and timely message. Isn’t it?
May peace and calm prevail my brothers and sisters.
Let’s get the right things going.
Amen, brother. Our purpose is to glorify HIS creation. Rest In Peace, Marvin.
2024; talent and genious never fade away
Marvin Gaye is one of the most talented artists in music history ( and that means ever since humans started making music thousands of years ago ). And also one of the handsomest .
Not a lie
I think this is just the original and essential of black music...RIP Marvin Gaye ,Bill Withers from South Korea
I can't believe,my ears have been blessed to hear this.
When I move to L.A. from Hawaii this song was so popular & the sounds of 1971. So much fond memories. Mahalo Marvin. RIP Brada
When this first came out I was in a black bar in Berkeley California. People's park, black panthers, Viet Nam, were all "Going On" yet here I was the only white college student among the brothers all of us being mellow enjoying truth from Marvin, The whole album is a gift to mankind
An “Angel” visiting this world.
Words are meaningless to describe the music, the person, the power of his voice...
One of the greatest songs ever from one of the greatest albums EVER! Marvin left us too soon as we all know. Thank you Marvin Gaye for your gifts of timeless music. RIP😢
This video is a true masterpiece. You can see the preacher in Marvin Gaye, same preacher - his father - who shot him dead 4 years later. There lays a man with questions and answers. Got to love Marvin Gaye.
Marvin was God sent to give us the best and I do feel there are messages from God that are in his songs "THINK" about it. R.I.P. our beloved Marvin
He's the man! Rest un peace ✌️🕊️ ......Great one 🙏!
War can become real everywhere in the world. Why? Because of you and me. This song remains of of our common brother an sistership!. War is not the answer!.Only love can conquer hate!
Yasss indeed!
You know you legit when your live singing sounds just as superb as the record....
what a bass line...
Tasty!
This song is beautiful!! It fits right in with what’s going on in the world today!! God Bless You, Marvin Gaye.
Hello Lelia
I love this song. Marvin got his preach on near the end. Love it!! --Queen.
Yes he did! Only wish it wasn't so short. I listen and watch this daily for motivation and inspiration. If only he had went on for hours, I would listen and appreciate every word.
This was one of the political songs of the day that has persevered today because we are still disregarding the environment to our detriment. I will always admire Marvin for putting this out there.
My favourite version of this song that he ever recorded. It was Marvin at his best.
He gave an entire sermon. Best one I've heard.
so much groove,, wow,, a true profit of love,, what a great band,,, every note played to perfection, backing vocals are on point,,,much love and respect from Puerto Rico!! Marvin, your music will forever live in our hearts, "War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate"
jonnyzion007 Gordy helped put together this band,, these people were hand selected cream of the crop band members
There will never be anything like this iconic album ever again in this lifetime... Marvin was a genius with this one...
I hope to meet Marvin up there someday 🌟
Siim Kuusik
He’ll try to smash
Slim K, and so do I.
Every time i look at this...I still can't believe this was life...incredible thia was live..
Blow yo horns & play them bongos..🎵🎵🎵
This sound so smooth!
What was beautiful and extraordinary about Marvin Gaye and his music is you knew he meant it and he made you feel that. I was born in the sixties and grew up in the seventies listening to all of his music. This amazing song is from one of the best albums of that era, if not all time! So good live. Tragically taken from this earth too soon and too young. Marvin Gaye, Rest In Peace. ❤️
This is great he's feeding knowledge about the truth.
Yes lori :)
Lori you are prety
Love this song!! Reality of life !!
What’s Going On !! Happenings in America & Around the World!!!❤️
Marvin Gaye is so missed❣️❣️❣️
Genius + Beauty + Soul = Marvin Gaye = One of a kind. I believe he was a major inspiration for Stevie Wonder…that indicates how profound he really was.
I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU MR. Marvin Gaye🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
God bless your Soul brother Marvin RIP
I lived through that time in history ...a great time for music, that’s about it.
Marvin was Mr Motown-his voice and performances were totally Magic!
Marvin was and remains one of the most beautiful human beings ever.. Rest in Peace!
I am crying my eyes out God is love help us all Father ❤️🌏
It is so cool the way he breaks into discussion/singing towards the end. What a voice to be able to sing live with no fear of sounding flat or off key!
Old school does it best. Nothing else to say.
This is new school
man with beauty and peacefull voice
Six thumbs down? People what's going on?
Bieber fans dude.
Sometimes I literally wonder who the fuck down votes something like this? I'm fine with Post Malone, Halsey, Ariana grande, but don't people realize we wouldn't have the baisis for modern music without folks like Marvin Gaye permanently influencing the industry, down to chord progressions and production techniques. These folks are forgotten legends in my humble, 21 year old opinion.
never mind 🤟
@oso polar ha
Miklós Sándor nailed it yes definately what I was thinking 🤗
I was watching an interview with Jeff Beck, he was asked who he wished he’d had the opportunity to record and play with. No hesitation…..Marvin Gaye!
A sign of how great and talented Marvin was, that even coked out of his mind in the later years, he was still miles ahead of anyone else. A true artist to the core. Lived it, felt it, and recorded it. Simply the greatest.
+IndependentGeorge76 If he had stayed in Belgium he would be alive today, 32 years later. He would have been 77 this year. He looks gaunt here where the video of him in Belgium he is glowing and looks younger than his 40 years. RIP beautiful man!
@@foxxeeyy the death of his friend Tammi Terrell led him to his demise.
@@jacquir8331 and here I thought it was a bullet
Soy de Perú, esa canción me recuerda a mi niñez, las diferencias sociales marcadas, un forma de reclamar en poesía. Marvin por siempre, Michael McDonald, Daryl Hall y Teddy Swims, gracias por cantarla con el corazón
Saludos compatriota, disfrutemos de esta genialidad de canción. ✌🏳✨
